Oggetto: remove validity completely?
In the 2.0 guidelines "we" (and I use the term referring to the entire
committee *and* those influencing the committee) have shifted from a W3C
technology centric document to a set of standards that should apply to any
technology...
Roberto:
Right! Sgml is not W3C.
David:
I don't know if there is a validator out there for every language that might
be used on the web... When I look up "validate pdf" (and its related
phrases) in Google or in the Help files in Acrobat, all I get is information
on how to open up a secure digitally signed document. So the question comes
up...is "validity" a testable concept for all non-w3c technologies.
Roberto:
It is inside Adobe Acrobat. For other document that specify a dtd is possible to use markup validators.
David:
Requiring validation may turn our document back into a "only use W3C
technologies" type of document. That's fine with me if that's what we want,
but I don't think that is what we want. If we leave validity out, then the
W3C technology itself requires validity.
Roberto:
The requirement is not w3c-centered. Or we can changed with:
"When a markup language is used, its structure must be public declared and respected"
